Feeling gross after vacation

I normally deflate and diurese within 5 days just getting back on my normal foods/routine. Lots of water.

It’s all carbs.
Drink tons of water, stay away from salt and carbs, exercise and sweat your arse off asap.

Just get back to your routine and don’t worry about it. You’re allowed to have fun sometimes.

Worked out a few times while on vacation but ate way more and way worse than usual. Anybody have some type of cleanse to get me back to feeling good.

Itll pass. I get the same kinda feeling. If I feel bad enough ill do a 24 or 48 hour fast.

I feel gross after every meal I eat lately. It's like I'm carbing up for a marathon I'm not running.

But I do know that for me, (when and if I get it together after a binge or a period of binging like I am in now) it's a 3-6 day period of flushing out the excess sodium and of course the water follows the sodium, and after that I feel back to "normal". (But unfortunately, as of late, at the 6-7 day mark I'm due for another 1-man Pizza Party and I load up again on all the calories and excess sodium and the cycle begins again)

Recently I was listening to a Joe Defranco podcast episode (it's episode #21 and it's from 2015, so maybe shite has changed, but it sounded sensible to me) from many years ago and he was talking to Mike Dolce, and he was talking about how he got the best results with diuresis in cutting weight from a gradual, but consistent, reduction in sodium over about a week long period. I was surprised that a gradual reduction in sodium gave him better results than a rapid reduction in sodium, but he repeatedly said how the athletes he trained and advised in nutrition (for what was usually a pre-competition weight cut for MMA/boxing/wrestling bouts), felt and looked better with a gradual reduction in sodium.

So I'm going to try a more gradual approach to my issues and hopefully that'll help get me off this yo-yo cycle of swinging back and forth from extremes and ultimately getting nowhere.
